Have a PRO.
Work as a industrial maintenance tech and it comes in very handy.
UV for find leaks. Laser for directing work to other workers.
Magnet mounting so you can work in cabinets hands free.
Not cheap but really good value and carry it everywhere.
UV sees a different world around you and not too worried about the proprietary charger as I wont even charge it once in a week.

[MrBeatenpath]

i use the arklight pro daily...as a bartender i use the uv to check for fake ID'S and fake $...never lets me down...

I have had nothing but great experiences with Olight flashlights. I now own several of them. The Warrior Mini 3 is to date the best tactical EDC light I have come across so far. Super bright 1750 lumems, with a true tactical mode and instant strobe! Their batteries are top notch. As far as the magnetic charging cable, it is WAY more convenient to use than any usb or usbc cable and totally inexpensive and worth it to simply purchase a couple more if needed however because I now own a few different Olights, I have more than enough charging cables. Nitecore makes some great lights too but for now, Olights have been doing a solid job!

[hjkphoto]

Once you own 10+ olight flashlights having enough charge cables around becomes a non-issue. LOL. They used to sell a charging dock for multiple lights but I don’t see that any more.

Bro, six months before dropping this video? I appreciate you always give thoughts after really used the tool rather than jumping on the hype and give some spec and shape reviews. This is some useful information.

[The_AntiVillain]

I use all 3 functions to the arkfeld pro. The uv is great for finding stuff in the dark by wrapping florecent cord on my stuff like wrenches and screw drivers

[roguegeek]

I mean, we gotta think about it in terms of what problem these things are trying to solve. Is it size? There's tons of really great 10440 or 14500 torches out there that perform just as well while being smaller. The biggest problem, IMO, is non-serviceable batteries in an inclosed system. Batteries do go bad and when they do, you'll either toss the whole flashlight or send the whole thing in for repair. Olight is far from the best when it comes to warranty, as well.

[NickGuelker]

My only issue with Olight is the marketing tactics. The lights themselves, are fantastic. I also love the magnetic charger.

[brandenshore]

Awesome video like always!! love how you reviewed all the Arkfeld series. I personally have the Arkfeld Pro and been caring it for a while now and love it and it has held up very well. I do work in the construction field and it has taken a good beating, and still going strong!! Also use it as a mechanics light when working on my truck and works very well for that as well.

[SkilletsteveCo]

Going on 4 months with arkfeld pro, hands down the best light I've edc'd. I have a dresser filled with edc lights. this one disappears in you pocket.Super handy at work in and out of mech rooms, pointing out things with the laser.

[snowshark]

Another thing about Olight’s chargers-
They aren’t cross compatible with all Olight models. Their weapon light chargers don’t fit each other, let alone their conventional flashlights.

[nickslens]

I didn't even notice the hump flare out on my non-pro. I didn't really care about the multi-directional pocket clip and I figured it might just get in the way and catch on things as I was moving around. I got the non-pro because I didn't really care about the UV and I liked the slightly smaller profile.

[mikepainter]

The light I carried for over a year is the WOWTAC A1S. EDC, hunting, hiking, camping, bedside stand. This has been an awesome light. I purchased it on Amazon. It wasn’t expensive but I can’t recall the cost. I’ve beat the crap out of it. It’s been great.

[anonymousbosch]

I’ve had one in my pocket for 2 years and I’m very happy as it gets a lot of use as a utility company splicer, never failed me or found it out of juice when I needed it. I’ve never found much use for the laser though

[InvisibleAvenger]

Neat flashlights, although I wish they could use standard size batteries. I'm not totally against rechargeable flashlights, but I like being able to swap out batteries as needed, rather than be stuck with a half dead battery in a few years.

[deltawing]

Hi, thank you for making this awesome review and comparison. You didn't mention one important consideration: what happens when end of battery life comes. Those bulky cylindric lights you mentioned in the beginning usually have an easy way for users swapping battery. Usually a flashlight's lifetime is way longer than that of the battery inside. I would like to know what happens when an Arkfeld reaches end of battery life. Will the batteries inflate like most of gel LiPo batteries? Will you know the time has come before battery stretches the light body apart? Will there be a way to have the light serviced and new battery installed? Will the light be trashed? If yes, how shall we recycle it?

[OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

I received an arkfield pro for Christmas this last year, and I have found it to be a very cool EDC light. I carry it in my jacket as my back up light. I find the flat design sits more comfortably in my pocket. I also really like the UV aspect, because once the weather dries out, I hope to be going with my grandson again looking for hidden marbles, and some of them are UV reactive, so having this light will make them easier to find. it is a lot more powerful than the UV we had last summer.

[TerryManitoba]

I bought the Flex about 3 months ago and couldn't be happier. Once you get used to the side button I find it great to use and it indexes well compare to my other round Olights.

I have 3 other Olight similar sized flashlights and use them in 3 seperate locations. I was given a do-over I would switch to 3 Flex lights -but not that big of a deal as I use the Flex where I need a flashlight 80% of the time.

Because I have several Olights witg tail chargers - I really like their magnetic charging system a bunch. ( type c would be fine - but not really a game changer for me)

[georgelewis]

Never go anywhere--especially at night--without multiple flashlights. I have several Olight Arcfeld lights and intend to get an Arcflex. Even during daylight, it's surprising how often I need a flashlight.
